DIGITAL PAINTING & EXPANDED ANIMATION: DRAWING & PAINTING

Drawing & Painting with a Digital Painting & Expanded Animation specializtion approaches digital painting and animation as fundamentally hybrid practices. It challenges students to expand contemporary modes of art production and exhibition beyond the canvas, the screen and the gallery space to generate works that engage the rapidly evolving nature of contemporary image making, animation and digital visual culture. Supported by a laptop program, Digital Painting & Expanded Animation through Drawing & Painting fosters experimental approaches to creative practice and integration of analog and digital modes of production with collaborative, experiential and online learning. Student collaboration will be of key importance to the overall arc of Digital Painting & Expanded Animation through Drawing & Painting — in the classroom, and with industry and community partners.
